Or protesting, for that matter.
It's familiar now: at a designated time during a match, fans will acknowledge a former player, or mark an historic event, or make their feelings known about the club.
But unlike the pre-game gestures, these take place while play goes on regardless. And in the midst of a moving tribute, there could be a goal. From an offside position. With a foul on the keeper.
So, have you ever interrupted these occasions by swearing at the ref, or celebrating inappropriately? It's hard enough for the commentators (more than once I've heard them break off from a respectful explanation about the applause to a slightly sheepish "Ooh, just wide"!). How about you?
We're looking for maximum conflict here: score bonus points if your team was already 3-0 down and you were seriously pissed off, while applauding.
